The Mind and its Stories: Narrative Universals and Human Emotion (Studies in Emotion and Social Interaction) Book

This is the first empirically and cognitively based isolation and discussion of narrative universals. Hogan argues that, to a remarkable degree, the stories people admire in different cultures follow a limited number of patterns and that these patterns are determined by cross-culturally constant ideas about emotion. In formulating his argument, Hogan draws on his extensive reading in world literature, experimental research treating emotion and emotion concepts, and methodological principles from the contemporary linguistics and the philosophy of science. He concludes with a discussion of the relations among narrative, emotion concepts, and the biological and social components of emotion.Read More
